A•LIVE (2012) comprehends a series of prints from the A•LIVE project, whose micrographic video recording yielded the following selected frames. A•LIVE is a live audiovisual performance with the symbiosis stemming from the alchemic experimentation of organic and synthetic materials with music composition by sound artist Derek Holzer. A•LIVE was first performed in Berlin in 2012 and premiered in the United States at The Paseo Outdoor Media Arts Festival in Taos, New Mexico in 2015. For Taos, the performance inspiration was of a hermeneutic nature – "as above, so below": the alchemy of earthly organic matter generating a cosmic vision, creating a continuum with the wide open sky of Taos gracing the outdoor performance.

An installation was created with selected large-scale 2-D prints and their corresponding small glass slides containing the organic matter in the prints. (Chrono)SKOPIE at Kunstraum t27, Berlin in 2012/13.
ECSTASY (2012) Series of self-portraits during live videomicrography videoart performance. 4x3 postcard format.
PLASMA (2006)
A series of large scale prints (1.5 meters wide) originating from a direct animation 16mm film loop. The film was created using various subtractive and additive techniques applied directly to the film surface, such as peeling off the emulsion, collaging and painting. This film contains 150 unique frames as they were all handmade.
Prints are 1/1.
The 16mm perforated film frame is part of the print.

Sample frames of series #2-5.
METAMORFOSE (2005) comprehends a direct animation 16mm film (see below) created originally as an experiment, whereby I buried a roll of raw 16mm film stock bare into the earth for 1 year (4 seasons) following a set of chance operations including bathing and spicing the film with liquid and solid substances before burial. This experiment spawned the METAMORFOSE film series, whose objective is to immerse the films in the singular context of each city where they are buried and present them in installations that speak directly to the characteristics of the location and to show how the buried film was affected by that direct interaction.
